January 13 2015 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
4G chipmaker Sequans Communications S.A. (NYSE: SQNS) and Ecrio
Inc., provider of 4G LTE real time communications client solutions
for the mobile industry, have developed a joint solution
integrating Ecrio’s operator-certified FlexIMS™ Voice over LTE
(VoLTE) and SMS over IMS client software with Sequans’ LTE chipset
platforms. As part of an ongoing product development activity with
a key device OEM, the Sequans/Ecrio VoLTE implementation has been
successfully demonstrated on a customer platform, proving its
interoperability and performance capabilities in a real-world
device. The turnkey solution provides everything needed to support
VoLTE on LTE phones, tablets, CPEs, gateways, M2M/IoT devices, and
more, and allows ODMs and OEMs to shorten time to market. Ecrio’s
FlexIMS™ patented technology allows for the broadest coverage of
IMS/VoLTE device types including mobile and LTE home/enterprise CPE
with full support of regulatory capabilities.
“VoLTE is a key capability for the single-mode LTE market and it
is for more than just phones,” said Georges Karam, Sequans CEO.
“Increasingly, it is being recognized by both operators and device
makers as necessary in non-phone devices, including home gateways
and tablets and a wide range of M2M and IoT devices. Our entire
chipset portfolio is designed to support VoLTE for precisely this
reason, and the Ecrio/Sequans solution works on all of Sequans LTE
platforms, including Colibri and Calliope for IoT/M2M applications
and Cassiopeia for LTE-Advanced applications.”
The joint Ecrio/Sequans solution fully meets the OEM and
operator requirements of any VoLTE- enabled product--phone, tablet,
LTE home/enterprise CPEs, M2M, IoT--with full legacy support of
mandatory FAX/Modem and regulatory E911 and TTY capabilities. It is
optimized for high performance, low power consumption, and long
battery life, leveraging Sequans’ highly optimized on-chip CODECs
for HD voice.
"We are proud of the potential span of VoLTE-enablement of
devices with our FlexIMS technology and happy to join Sequans in
announcing this significant milestone," said Michel Gannage,
Ecrio’s CEO. "Ecrio is fully committed to supporting Sequans in OEM
and ODM product integrations and forging ahead with advanced
services deployments.”
“Our long-term collaboration with Ecrio, which has involved work
on several product types over the course of many months, has
yielded a best-in-class solution for the design of any
VoLTE-enabled device,” said Karam.
